Nice pics, looks great - How often do you have to re-apply this coating? Is this a detailing that is maintained every 2-3 months like a was or a treatment that is re-applied every 12 months etc...

According to Todd Cooperider at Esoteric, you can use the ISM Overcoat product every 2-3 washes to maintain. The base coating should last about 2 years. The Overcoat product is on top of the semi-permanent coating that was applied. It is the maintenance product used ongoing.

Hope that helps. The car is really stunning with this coating. Better than my novice hands could do with wax.

Did Todd do te tinting as well?
That looks really amazing. I can hardly wait to take my car to him (if I ever get it - got an email yesterday about another delay from November/December to February!)/

Todd did not do the tinting. I had the only spectra photosync installer in my area do that. John the "tint Guy" in Fairfield Ohio. Have used him for years on different tint. Great guy great job.

Me too.
I have grown to like white but was never a color I went looking for...wife steered me. She has better sense of what looks good than I do.

Looks like brand new delivery, great job. Can we ask how much you were charged?

Sure. Cost breakdown was:
Intensive Paint prep, polish: $600. this can vary from $350 to higher.
Ism coating, body: $400
Polish, coating by removing wheels: $250.

$1250 total. I'm sure that's not the cheapest in town but I'd go back to Esoteric from now on.

Todd Cooperider is one of the best. Does many new Ferarri deliveries straight from dealers for new paint prep and coating. He made his reputation in the Ferarri world.

I was so happy with the job, I drove up my 2011 VW GTI to have him do a less expensive class of detail to it. I'm picking it back up Friday.
